Will mention give that a shot when I'm back in for my routine PM next week. It would make a little sense given the scenario. It's very consistent and happens 'quicker' over bumps which would make sense for a steer tire issue when more weight is put on it. And it the pull ALWAYS remains the same. Obviously it's more noticeable at highway speeds, but as far as feet horizontal to feet forward, it remains the exact same at all time.

Truck don't say RAM on it does it.
Thrasher28 Thanks this. -
Does it go the other way of the wrong side of the road? Obviously please don’t try it with traffic coming, alignment could also be dead on balls accurate and you are feeling the crown of the road, checking hub oil, tire psi and brakes would also be good, beyond that bring it to the dealer

Truck has been aligned. Whether that was done correctly or not, idk, but I'll assume so.
No curbs have been hit. No serious potholes have been hit. We all deal with rough roads at times, but nothing out of the ordinary. I look like an idiot going from side to side in parking lot lanes dodging potholes and rough spots. Even to the extent of never turning the wheel at a standstill and picking out gravel from steers to avoid unnecessary wear and cosmetic damage. Not a single scrape, abrasion, or even cosmetic damage on any part of any tire on the truck. Believe it or not, I do believe in taking care of the thing that allows me to earn a paycheck.
Not sure if you're calling me an idiot or saying it's frustrating explaining to a shop that it still probably needs attention still, but I'll assume the latter. -
Numb Thanks this.

Had a driver complaining in a similar fashion.
Only 98,000 from a set of steering tires and been aligned several times at the dealer.
Sent it to a specialist spring shop for a three axle alignment.
New Torque arms to the differentials, drove like new.... -
Could be a defective power steering box.
Thrasher28 Thanks this. -
It's a tall order to get a truck aligned at a lot of companies. In my experience, the only time they align it is when they put 2 brand new steers on. It certainly doesn't take much to throw a truck out of alignment it seems.
Thrasher28 Thanks this.
